Yes.
The precursor trade where Tanev went to Dallas and included Jersey as a salary retainer ... that laid the groundwork for the Markstrom deal, but ownership in Calgary is being f***in stupid, as usual.
Its a curse of the Alberta NHL teams, meddling ownership that ties their GMs hands, gets s*** results because what they want is obviously stupid, then fires them for doing what they are told.
Pick a lane. Doing it 75% of the way is just dumb. They're 6-4 in their last 10 and are 8 points out of a WC spot with 20 games left. They'd pretty much have to go 14-6 AND hope Nashville plays .500 or worse, AND Vegas keeps forgetting how to play hockey.
